OK. More basketball action coming your way from Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum.
- FINAL: Auburn 75, Tuskegee 32.
- Tuskegee shot 19.2% (15 of 64)
- Tuskegee hit 1 of 16 from three-point range
- Tuskegee hit 1 of 8 from the free-throw line
- That's the lowest Auburn opponent point total since 1948
- @ the 3:00 mark
Auburn leads, 62-30.
- Frankie Sullivan just scored on a shooting foul. What can I say?
- Lucas Hargrove just scored on a shooting foul. That breaks a long streak.
- SECOND TO @ 11:29
Auburn leads, 40-25.
- FIRST TO @ 15:47
Auburn leads, 36-19. Haven't been watching. I'm writing a story about Nick Fairley for tomorrow's editions.
- HALFTIME
Auburn leads, 30-11.

... to continue on what FSJ said earlier about the tat, I'm 100% sure that Wifey will remain my wife for a good while.
Eltoro "The Bull" signs the dotted line tomorrow. That's two.
Oh yeah ... shut up J Kev.
Stacey used to live next door to me. Solid dude.
By the way,
I told you to take the night off!!
Phred,
Do you live in Tuskeegee?? I hope not! Ha! I don't want to sound like Sir Barkley.
It was when I lived in AU. We were there at the same time.
Phreddie, you're not THAT old! wait...that's how many years before i got there....um...crap. i guess you're right. suck, i'm getting old too!
'sup Scottie B?
repost:
Aight so one of my new years resolutions is to make it to 5 AU basketball games this year..what do tickets generally run?
sup Zen Master Phred??!!
watching the game on the internet. We are not very good at half-court bball.
i get limited internet access here at the gym and video doesn't work.
thank goodness for the HABOTN. ;)
I just read some quotes from "The Bull" and I would suggest that CGC carry him around with him on all recruiting visits. Dude was seriously pumped up. Wild.
Tickets: Cheap. $5-10?
Phred - What did he say?
$10 last time I went. Hargrove can take some ugly shots.
"to all you decommitts - if we can't getcha, we'll beatcha. War Damn Eagle!" The Bull
NICE!!
i'm guessing Fairley is nicknamed the Bull???
AU1 ... do you have a HABOTN t-shirt?
Eltoro Freeman ... signing tomorrow.
No - Eltoro Freeman, another recruit. LB
gotcha Phreddie. thanks.
Not yet. I owe Scottie B.
Eltoro = The Bull = Super Stud
I have his number and need to send him mula.
Jay remember the AU-Ohio St game when Stacy Danley almost got decapitated by that OSU DB?? That was the nastiest hit I have ever seen!! He came back in the second half though and torched OSU for like a buck fifty on the ground
You need to conform, AU1.
I actually have 2 on hold. One for me and the other for the wife. She always ribs me for talking to my blogger friends. So I have a shirt for her.
Scottie B. I will call you tomorrow and the number you gave me.
hey AU1...u can holla at me at work tomorrow if you want and we can take care of da bidness. then u can rock your HABOTN tee as you open presents Christmas mornin'! ah, the memories!!!!
888-546-3131, 8:30am-5pm ET.
Big Cat - he's one of the most uncelebrated GREAT running backs we've had. Never understood why he doesn't get more love.
Consider it done.
I'm heading out of town for the holidays. I wish all of you a Merry Christmas.
- Mr. Sensible
Enjoy, Sensi.
The Internets stay open through the holidays.
Merry Christmas Mr. S!
Jay any thoughts on the email I sent you today?
yea Danley was great! But that hit was just crazy!
Zack Dumas Hit Stacy Danley
Is it to late to get a shirt?
how do you join the facebook group? i see the click here to request to join... and I see where it says you have to submit your HABOTN ID.... but there is no where to enter that info....
Or is there and I'm just dumb and blind?
No offense to the blind folks out there reading this blog...
TB: I typically can't correlate ID's here with the emails I receive ...
Ban Sensi. I kid.
Have a good Christmas bro.
Phred any word on Cameron "the natural" Kenney? Will he sign soon?
TB, I think you can be accommodated.
Hit up Scottie tomorrow at the number listed above. They're $15 including shipping.
I've been looking around and wondering that too. If I hear something I will post.
We're pretty much beating Tuskeegee to death at this point. Somebody call it.
BigCat - Name the current college head coach that is in the video?
D. Miller, I gotcha. You're in the facebook group. I just needed to know who you were...
DMiller - Someone needs to approve you.
Nevermind - She is here.
holla at me tomorrow TB. maybe we can cut a deal. :)
I watched the 86 cotton bowl between AU an Texas A&M the other day then on the same night I lost twenty bucks in poker while I was wearing a AU shirt..shoulda had on the HABTON shirt..mighta had a better day...like Jay said "CONFORM"..
I'm wearing my HABOTN t-shirt...right now..
I feel like such a sinner..
sinner
No takers on the question?
What head coach is in the video that AUBigCat provided?
Deals work for me. I will give you a call.
Thanks
Hey AU1 just saw your post. I dont know who is it? Zack Dumas should be coaching DBs somewhere
can't watch video here. no clue.
Tuskegee must be REEEAAALLLLY bad. ouch.
Answer - Bo Pelini
He is the safety for Ohio St. that comes leaping in. You see his last name briefly.
Jay the email I sent you I got the info from another blog. It discussed a certain yeller fellers phone call to a coach that created all this with CTT.
Oh wow I never noticed that!
some talk bumping around that says Shane Wasden might coach WRs and Special Teams.
TB I think I saw a "story" about that yella fella phone call and clause in CTT's contract. Very interesting
Who's that Phred?
TB that is the rumor that has been flying around on why xCTT walked away with the $$
No one could call anyone representing AU on an official or unofficial capacity.
A Cowboy makes a call to a Sexton client and all whoop breaks loose.
If that is remotely true then it explains alot.
It would make sense on why also if JJ would have been caught off guard if he was trying to have xCTT back.
By the way I gotta give props to whoever started the Facebook group..If I remember correctly it was Kristina..sorry if I'm wrong..pretty cool Kristan..buy a shirt...join the HABOTN..and get a decoder ring...
Ausome....I feel special and included now... Thanks Kristina
What exactly is the role of a BOT member?
No problem, D. Sorry it took so long. Welcome!
TB: Was it like 50 inches long?
That one got the tl;dr treatment.
I couldn't read 50 inches about my daughter ...
Kenney is a February signee from what I've read. He won't be an early enroller.
To talk AU....not to blow smoke...be kind to others...question when confused...and never, ever, ever, call out a ROF member.
oh well it was an interesting read.
Big Cat - Who? Shane Wasden?
He's a former very good AU reciever who went on to be a very, very good highschool coach and is now the assistant head coach at Troy.
Thanks wartiger. Starting the group was a no-brainer really...
Speaking of the facebook group, we have 3 requests with no user names so if you are waiting to be admitted, shoot me or Jay G. an e-mail and let us know who you are. Thanks!
mr. s. season's greetings, if that is not too politically incorrect. safe travels.
I was looking for you Jay, but didn't quite see you. First row of the Lunatics, come check us out one day pregame.
Did you hear the guy with the glorified kazoo cheering for Tuskegee?
Harris Gaston still on board per Matthews at Rivals.
jgt, is your anniversary date easily modified? just kidding--go for it...
headin' to the hizzle fo chizzle. catch you boys later.
I've seen gaston play several times good looking kid but I am suspect since he played in Alabama Private school.
That Tuskegee "section" was pretty rad.
I think I am going to get a tattoo that says "Baby"...
That way I never have to change the name...
Scott from T - how is your doggie?
Good thinkin, FSJ.
Shayne Wasden to AU??? Jay G. True?
http://www.selmatimesjournal.com/news/2008/dec/16/wasden-linked-position-chiziks-staff-auburn/
Didn't Stacey Danley have a lawsuit against AU from when he worked in the athletic department?
Luv - The role of the BOT is to govern. The role of the staff is to manage. That's the short answer. Here's a longer answer:
http://www.auburn.edu/administration/trustees/statement.html
A newspaper story with "rumored" in the lead? Weak.
Walleye Jr. ... maybe.
We're a long way from confirming stuff like that. The decision has to be made first!
Gaston was a one man wrecking crew over at Bessemer Academy. He played both sides of the ball and caught several touchdowns. Gaston has a good frame to bulk up.
I just dont remember Wasden
depressed ... Danley threatened to sue.
Thanks, Monica. I was beginning to feel ignored...so, I Googled Auburn University Board of Trustees
Yeah...I read it twice... then realized that it was beyond speculative...
Sorry, having watched Troy some in recent years, I know how well their WR's have played and just know that it would be a massive upgrade...
I guess I'm a little too anxious to see the staff in place.
http://www.auburn.edu/administration/trustees/policymanual/athletics.html
I'm not sure I like #1. It leaves A LOT of room for interpretation...
So, was there a settlement to keep it out of court, Jay? Seem to remember some ugly comments from Danley during that time. Thanks for the reply.
just watch the 89 Florida game or the 89 Bama game for Wasden. Reggie Slack hit him in the EZ for the winning TD vs. UF with seconds remaining. classic. he also had a long pass play against the Tide. those are the 2 plays that stand out.
Luv - the policy manual is where the fun stuff is - it's intentionally vague - best practices dictate that BOT's govern and leave the managing to staff. However, with this BOT (as with lots of boards) the roles and boundaries are blurred. It makes for an unhealthy organization. Sound familiar?
don't know what happened to my link. It didn't post correctly.
Wasn't Shane also the return guy that liked to run ALLLLLLLLL the way across the field trying to break free only to get about a 3 yard return? Although I must say he would make it exciting, if in fact that's who I'm thinking about. I do remember he had great hands. However the best I ever saw was Lawyer Tillman
thanks, Monica! :-)
Acknowledges its constitutional and statutory obligation to “manage and control” the University
They sure do a good job at this!
huh - and it's a very diverse BOT...
*cough*
Thomas Bailey was the best return guy that I remember. He would stand in one spot and make like 3 guys miss. Decent hands for a WR
When I grow up, I wanna be on the BOT ... then I will implement Operation Hate and unleash the plan per my manifesto.
From the picture, it looks like mostly good ol' boys with a couple token women and an African American thrown in.
In the same sentence: delegates to the President of the University the full conduct and control of Auburn’s athletics program, holds the President responsible for it, and includes this responsibility among those assessed during presidential performance reviews.
So, why didn't Gogue hire the HC? Or, did he "delgate" that to JJ?
Courtesy of Turbo Prop (Jet's 18 year old son):
Eltoro = Bull in China Shop
Tray = China in Bull Shop
Luv - yes
Also, look at the list of bot members since 1920. The years of service are interesting. Some stay a year, some think it's Hotel California. Another failing of the by-laws. A health BOT either has strictly enforced term limits or it has a board that self governs and sheds deadwood when needed.
Put a SACS in it, Monica!
Eltoro's comin'!
The BOT? A lot of people would be much better off and followed my good advice and buried your head in the sand. If you bury your head, they can't see you.
Don't remember Shane Wasden? Then you owe it to yourself to check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxXaWGT4lAE&feature
Wish I had a time machine - I'd go back to that night right now. Pat Dye, Pat Sullivan, Slack to Wasden, and one of the happiest nights I can remember in all my years.
Shayne Wasden?! Don't remember him?
How can you not remember his TD against Florida in 199? Or being run down from behind by Keith "Dope Fiend" McCants against the Infidels in '89?
Most recently seen in the critically acclaimed TLC series "Little Coach, Big World."
He'd be wonderful.
Yeah, Monica, it states in the Constitutional Statement that a member may serve no more than two seven-year terms.
Hotel California - I love that!
Thank you coosa - I remember watching that now. Man getting old is rough, don't remember what I remember anymore
My opinion means nothing. I like the tattoo idea, but I hate the location. Men shouldn't have tattos on wrists and ankles unless there are full sleaves that just happen to run over those points. Tattoos are really forever. I wish they weren't.
So, Monica, am I correct in assuming that everyone ignores the term limit with Lowder because he holds the purse strings?
This comment has been removed by the author.
Thanks for the vid coosa. That was my freshman year so I should remember that. Or maybe that's why I dont remember that.
OK, I know a little about this ... the current BOT was grandfathered in when the constitutional amendment was passed ... there is an age limit that will get Lowder at the end of his term ... now when the term expires they can serve for an additional year, but then the seat becomes vacant. Previously, the holder of the seat stayed in office until a successor was confirmed.
Jet I just joined the Facebook group, and it appears I know you.
Shayne Wasden would be a good hire.
It is awfully quiet on the Rodney Gardner and Stacey Searles front.
Yes, TommyD. We'll use our code names here, though.
Eddie ... I'm getting good vibes still on STacy ... mixed bag on Rodney, which concerns me.
Any confirmation on James Willis?
I'm hearing more and more than Joe Whitt, Jr., is coming, which likely bumps Willis.
While I like James, I don't see it as a dropoff at all.
Absolutely Jet, incredibly small world.
Luv - As long as the university is accepting the huge money a person doesn't have to hold a bot position to have influence.
I just watched the video that coosa provided. I've only been in AL 10 years, but I love listening to recordings of Jim Fyffe calling plays. He sounds like he absolutely LOVED Auburn football.
Well, surely Rodney will come home in the end...but maybe not.
Dye sure did seem to know alot about the assistant coaches that Chizik was looking at....I wonder how???? HMMM???
Glad you enjoyed it, mrtommyd. That was a typical Pat Dye game - he played to win it 10-7 and it worked out. Well, actually he played to win it 9-7, but we missed the FG on the next to last drive and had to score a TD at the end.
And FL scored a TD early and played to try to win with 7 pts, and it almost worked.
Those were the days.
Fyffe was the greatest ... of course, for kids of my age in MOntogmery... he used to announce YMCA pee wee football games on WCOV-TV ... sadly, he called the game when I "obomanu-ed" a sure TD in the end zone.
Monica, very true, but I still don't like it.
Yeah - those were the days, holding your breath for 4 quarters hoping it all worked out. Which is better than holding your breath for 4 quarters waiting for the train wreck to happen.
Given where we are at the moment, I don't see Dye as an advisor as a horrible thing ... I'm sure Chizzle is ultimately picking his staff ... but having a sounding board is not a bad idea. OF course, if Callaway becomes OC, then I will change my tune.
I will say this about Chizik. I really like the way he is recruiting right now. He is hitting the road big time. Tubs really lacked in that area.
That's a wrap from the Plains.
Talk with you all tomorrow.
See ya, HOTTIES.
(ps: Buy a t-shirt if you haven't already.)
Eddie ... if I've preached energy once, I've preached it a thousand times.
One thing ... the expectation bar for Chizzle is so low with recruits, I guess they're expecting Forrest Gump or Barney Fife to walk in the room. I would imagine he's knocking several of them flat.
Aubigcat - I don't remember much about some of the games from my freshman year either, so I understand. ;)
My freshman year was 1972, the year of the Amazins. And yes, I'm one of 600,000 who claim to have been at the 17-16 win over bammer, but I still have the ticket stub to prove it. Went with several friends - no date- and after it was 16-0 in the 4th Q we all decided we might as well just get drunk. No, I had no hope at all. Being drunk wasn't such a bad thing after we won it. I remember telling everybody it was the happiest day of my life; about all I remember though.
LuvAu1968 - I think that call in the 10-7 FL game was Jim Fyffe's finest moment.
Sure do miss him.
But then I miss Buddy Rutledge too. Bet I'm the only person here who remembers his calls.
anyone just hear Barkley on HBO?
SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
coosa, like I said, I've only been here 10 years, but I get all vaklempt EVERY time I hear him.
Give it time and Barkley will be quiet. It will blow over. It always does.
Good Night All,
I've read allcomments tonight. No need to participate, everything needed to be said was said.
LATE
he called it a bunch of bull**** on live TV
Night ... mdaniel.
too many fyffe calls to pick a fave ... but i love the 1993 alabama calls, the 94 florida call, the '87 ga. tech call (tillman, tillman, tillman)
Barkley needs to shut more than his mouth. I think he is beginning to speak from somewhere other than his mouth. :)
Barkley needs to worry more about his so called golf swing. That is embarrasing for someone once described as an "athlete".
Don't care Jhag ...
Barkley = lardbutt non grata
I was tired of his act years ago.
I seldom wear tee shirts, but if the HABOTN needs to move some leftovers, I'll take one to help the cause.
How much and where do I send the money for an XL?
That's awfully generous of you, Coosa.
Hey guys,
What has been up? I've been stuck in Mobile/Pensacola again. So happy that it is my last time going down there for the year! In other news I did stay at a holiday express last night, so if Tuskegee needs another basketball coach I would be able to fill in.
Night all. Crazy day today at work and little HABOTN time...and that is never a good thing :(.
Sleep well, Eduardo.
And know that Eltoro is guarding you and your family.
Goodnight Eddie.
It may be exnay to talk about but what the heck happened on the blog yesterday to cause a "LOCK DOWN"
Cobra Commander attempted to assassinate Mr. Sensible.
If you work at an insane asylum, is it politically correct to come home and say "I had a crazy day?"
There are two institutions in Tuscaloosa and you'd have to be crazy to go to either.
Is that politically incorrect?
JD where do you visit in Mobile? work i suppose? what are your favorite things about my lovely city on the bay..lol...:)
I'm out too. Goodnight all.
Cruddup - show thyself.
Gotta hit the hay - Goodnight all. Sweet dreams...
Ah yeah I do sales in the mobile area that cause me to travel down there at least 2 days a week so I normally get a hotel room in daphne. I like it down there but today was soo foggy! I love the food down there. Seafood is one of my absolute favorites.
Later, MOnica ... take a hit of Nyquil for me.
'Night justwin
Night to all of the habotn retirees who go to bed at 3:30 PM
JD/PDWT
Mrs. Jet and I just got back from a whirlwind of MOB/Point Clear/Fairhope ... great seafood.
PDWT...has the ole coach been hitting you lately?
Jet you are right on about that. I ate dinner with some customers last night at Felix's. I know we had one in Montgomery a few years ago but honesly, DANG...why did we ever let it go? It was amazing.
Felix in MGM was in bad location ... old Darryl's ... loser location ... too many different things had been there. should have waited and put it at EastChase.
Of course, I am a huge fan of Jubilee in Old Cloverdale.
to all,
Yes Dye has been hitting the turkey. He is like all old people he is lonely and likes to talk, old people like to think their opinion matters.
Mobile = mardi gras, lots of traffic, high crime, lots to do, great restaurants. too many bamers
Daphne = the bay town, the tru bay city, eastern shore, good seafood, over priced houses
Fairhope/Point Clear - Grand Hotel-must see and visit, awesome place all around, if you are a state employee or retiree u get great discounts. Fairhope, old, wealthy town, exclusive, really neat, anti-commercialization
PDWT-What hotel in point clear do you speak of?
PDWT ...
used my discount for 1 night at renaissance (couldn't get in BAttle House) and 2 nights at Grand.
Fairhope/Point Clear is the bomb-diggity.
Mobile's OK ... love the Dew Drop.
Felix's is awesome,good view, in the summer they have bands underneath in the swamp room, good place to watch the alligators down below. Long wait there. The same people who own Ruth's Chris steakhouse in Mobile own Felix's and ahhhh they own like half of mobile. So I assume they built/bought a place where they could eat. Anything on the causeway is good and unique. Dont get caught in bad rain down there or your car wil get stuck.
Its called the Grand hotel in Point Clear owned by Marriot run by RSA(Bonner). 5 star, food, drinks, 200 yrsold on the water, golf, tennis, massage, etc...the whole deal. During the sr. bowl you will see all kinds of folks over there.
Senior Bowl in Mobile is the best of you are a football fan. You can meet and mingle with everyone and anyone in college or pro football.
They all are accesible. They go to all the functions, you see them in bars and restaurants. The coaches tell you this is their vacation. By the game they have already scouted everything they can about the kids. So the coaches come to game like a vacation. The team comp them and they see their buddies, party, eat out etc,. I have many stories about the coaches, they live it up and run wild.
The Players they are all business because they know a good or bad week could cost them millions.
JD ... save up ... if there's a Mrs. JD, take her to the Grand for a weekend ... she'll tolerate your HABOTN addiction more readily.
Night kids, I'm done.
holla jet...think im going to follow. night all
Fools, don't bash Jacobs!!! Why? Well, I submit the following from one of Jay G's articles.
"Jacobs said results weren't important to him."
Now, study that sentence very closely. See if you draw the same conclusion I do. I want to work for that guy.
So, Mr. Jacobs, I would just like to take this opportunity to kiss your butt. I can see where your non-results oriented thinking is a revolutionary concept and I am on board.
I will settle for a $100K lifetime contract with a $6 Million buyout. Let me know when I should show up for work.
And in other shocking developments, Carlos Rogers reveals his racist beliefs by saying that Chizik was the best choice for the job. I don't know if Carlos Rogers is qualified to make this determination because, as we all know, the best judge of college football head coaching talent is NBA has beens that are attempting to keep their names in the limelight.
Oh man, Jay, I should be a reporter, just like you. I am getting rather good at this stuff.
Speaking of Causeway seafood joints, has anyone tried Oysterella's lately? My wife and I had a bad experience there not long after they opened, but I'm curious to know if they've improved at all. Out of that stretch, I'm really partial to Felix's or Ed's. The Oyster House is usually too crowded, and Bluegill has turned into little more than a Sunday afternoon destination.
Heard the rumor about Wasden late this afternoon. A competent WR coach would be a breath of fresh air on the Plains (right, Hoopie?). Great news about Freeman. I hope CGC can pull some more turnarounds like that in the future.
Fyffe's greatest call had to be Sanders in the Endzone at the Swamp in '94. Maybe it was because I had to work on Saturdays that year, so I only got to hear that year's games on the radio like in '93, but that one was just incredible
This may have already played out, but for those lending credence to the "Rane called Houston Nutt" story that was making the rounds yesterday, here's a perfectly good rebuttal, written by a Michigan fan of all things.
251 ...
we went into a packed original oyster house on thursday ... actually, they all looked packed, except oysterella. OOH, although packed, was served quickly (almost 2 fast), and was a good meal.
Here is a good video http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=nhngm9tnmdlc
Thanks McLovin, that's great
Eltoro Freeman is pretty fired up about coming to Auburn. Jet, didn't you give him a nickname yesterday? Here is Freeman's quote:
I heard Coach Chizik has coached three Thorpe Award winners, well damn, he better get ready to coach a Dick Butkus Award winner. It's on now!" Freeman said. "We're coming back. Me and the boys are coming! I'm ready! WAR DAMN EAGLE! I just can't wait to be a part of the Auburn Family."
Just Win, on rivals.com it shows that he was recruited by Al Borges and committed in '06. What happened?
I did a little digging and answered my own question. He sat out a year to save a year of eligibily.
He didn't qualify, had to go to JUCO.
Thanks, Just Win. When he says, "Me and the boys...," who are "the boys"?
I guess the current players and the incoming players - that's all I can think of.
COOSA,
hit me up and i can take care of your XL tee if you're down.
brannsm@gmail.com
word.
Scottie B, I might take another shirt. That way I have a back up when the other one is in the wash...
Evan Woodberry had an article stating Callaway had been contacted by Auburn about the OC job but was going to stay at UAB. Besides being thankful he turned AU down, I cannot believe Chizik chose him on his own. Is he having final say-so on coaches or is all of this pre-arranged?
Depressed, I am very concerned about the staff. I know a lot of people want former players or coaches back at AU and while I think that is a good idea for some, I sincerely hope that this staff is not 100% former players or coaches. If it is I guarantee you Chizik agreed to let someone pick his staff. No way is Calloway the best OC that AU can get - NO WAY!!!
*Callaway
Just Win, I agree that Searels, Garner, etc. are proven coaches and recruiters and would love to see them return. We are in DESPERATE need for a proven, innovative OC, and Neal Callaway is the guy? No way with the avaliable OC's out there would Chizik choose this guy. I am very concerned.
hey monica. thanks for asking about my dog. Passed away last saturday in my living room with the help of my vet. as good a situation as it could have been, given the circumstances.
JustWin, i've got an XL here for ya.
TB just got himself a tee. he's CONFORMED!!!!!!!! :)
Just for wondering sake - who are the available OC's? I've heard Nix's name mentioned, and Callaway (although I'm glad to see he wants to remain a HC).
